Urban Development Policy of India Transport and land use integration

1 Vertical integration of plans and policies

A review of the national and state level policies dealing with urban and transportation development would help provide a context for planning.

2. Horizontal integration of plans and policies:

It is also important to consider the other sectoral plans that are made for the cities while planning for land use transport integration. These may be in the form economic development, housing or environmental  plans for the city.

3  Institutional integration and legal mechanism

To insure land use transport integration the development agencies/ local authorities will need to adopt a proactive role and look into their respective legislations to ensure that processes are setup to enable integration. It is important to note that the development plans/ Master Plans have provision to ensure that transportation is taken care of in the planning process; hence the problem is with the application rather than the Act itself.

4 Financial requirements :  Funding the plan preparation: this kind of funding is required for large scale base map and information base development both for land use and transport aspects. This aspect can be taken care of by the GOI schemes which provide grants on 80-20 sharing basis for integrated land use and transport plan preparation studies.

5 Capacity building : Awareness on Land use Transport Integration: Since most of the people involved in the land use planning process are not exposed to the intricacy of transport issues it is suggested that authorities should encourage them to go for professional development courses so as to refresh their knowledge and also give an outlook to newer concepts and techniques. Four Centers of Excellence in urban transport have been setup by GOI who offer such courses apart from organizations like TERI, UNDP, GIZ and The World Bank.

6 Stakeholder identification

The main objective of consultations is to have people on board from inception so as to resolve conflicts at every stage of the plan preparation and ensure that the plan are better received from the community point of view.
